I'd recommend the Razer DeathAdder Black Edition. No glossy finish, it has a very nice texture to it. I use one and it's extremely comfortable. I use it at the standard 1800 DPI though and I use Legacy drivers so it's unobtrusive (it only has these DPI settings: 450, 900, 1800, 3500).

Edit: I heard the Roccat Savu is pretty good if it fits in your hand right.

One word of warning about BE: it is impossible to lift comfortably if you have dry hands. Basically: dry hands -> normal DA, sweaty hands -> BE

Really? I have one and never had a problem picking up. Granted I don't have dry hands so that's probably why. I said the BE because he wanted a non-glossy finish/a grippy texture, which the BE has.

Yeah, I bought it back in the day because I thought the rubber would be even better to grip, but with my dry hands it always slipped out of my grip. I really needed to apply pressure to lift which was quite uncomfortable. That's why glossy mice are better for dry hands (or a better form of rubber).

I've changed my specifications a bit:• Mouse does not require a driver to use 400/450 dpi.
I know that the EC1 eVo and G400 are able to do so; Deathadder cannot.• Braided cable doesn't matter as long as it isn't flimsy.
I heard that the G400's cable can be flimsy but the EC1 eVo cable is quite sturdy. I need confirmation on this point.• Mouse does not have prediction/angle snapping.
None of these mice do (except an older version of G400)• Mouse is around the size of a Deathadder.
I heard that they are about the same size but I need confirmation.

Mostly need confirmation on these points for the Deathadder BE, G400, and EC1 eVo.Edited by Thr0wAway - 7/2/13 at 10:54am

EC1 eVo is very close in size to the DA, and yes the cable is sturdy but very flexible.and lightweight.
